After almost 10 Years it remains the greatest game of all time

Although I'm not sure why they show video games on the iMovie Database, I still feel inclined to review this game.

It's been almost ten years since this masterpiece was released on the N64 (which I was still playing 2005, I didn't have a Gamecube and my 360 had broken too many times), and no game has managed to beat its remarkable storyline, its great gameplay, and its adventurous feel.

There are many parts of this game which make it the greatest game in the world, but I only want to touch on a few. First off, this game has amazing graphics for its time, and each object was quite detailed compared to other games of the mid-90's. Another aspect of the game which adds to its superiority is the huge landscape and available areas to explore. There are numerous side quests which provide the player with lots of fun even after the game has been completed. There are many villages and towns to traverse, and Hyrule Field is immense and full of secret locations and hidden items (keep in mind that I'm not comparing this to Twilight Princess, which is much more immense).

I could spend hours talking about the great cutscenes and fun parts of the game, but since this game is classic and you can find a much more in depth review on many a game info site, I'll end the comment here. If you have a Wii, you MUST purchase this from the Virtual Console!
